Just out of interest Tony, I notice you ride the KLX on your recent tours. Obviously you have this bike too - with wheels for offroading too.

Why don't you use this bike?

Do you find that if you're going off-road that the 250cc is better due to weight?

Reason I ask is I'm getting a new bike in the next month or so and was planning on a CRF m with a set of off road wheels and tires extra. However, if I up the monthly payments from 4k to 5.5k I can get a 500x. As the extra payment is minimal and the extra horses is significant I thought I'd go for the x and a set of knobbly tyres and wheels spare.

Only concern is heading up to north laos/china border. Maybe a 250 would just be easier to manuva and deal with on the mountain trails and tracks.

However, will do lots of on-road too obviously.

Would you go for the CRF or the 500x?

The Versys and 500x are road bikes that can handle a bit of off-road, but with their 17" wheels and ~200kg weight you'll never be able to take them on serious off road rides. Dirt and gravel roads, no problem. Deep sand, mud, big rocks? Forget about it on a heavy road bike.

I've got a GSXR1000 for road and track and the KLX for off-road and I'm just not riding the Versys much anymore, so time to let it go.

A Versys / 500x will get you around Laos just fine, but you won't be able to do much serious off-road riding with those heavy bikes. The Versys weighs about 200Kg and is a fantastic road bike and also good fun on dirt roads and gentle off-road, but if you really want to get out into the jungle you've got to take the proper equipment. ie. a real dirt bike.

KLX weighs around 140Kg, it's tough, doesn't mind being dropped, has way more ground clearance, real off road suspension and the 21" front and 18" rear wheels which are a must for serious off road.

If you mostly ride on road I'd recommend you get the road bike and rent a dirt bike for Laos to spare your road bike the abuse. Plenty of 250cc dirt bikes for rent there at quite reasonable prices.

Hope that helps!

^Thanks for your input Tony - good luck with the sale.

Just back from the States, bike has been sitting in my living room here in Bangkok. Headed back to the US soonish, will entertain any reasonable offer
Happy Trails!

Well that you mention it. I did wish you good luck with the sale, because I think you're gonna need it.
Personally I would not touch a bike with 33k ridden by a race rider who is silly enough to post a video of the bike being pounced hard on dirt track.

As far as repo goes generally it's a private affair. Whataya think, would you like me to post the nasty repo you left me?
